Legends aren't born, they're made!
In the great city-state of Genelogia, there exists an academy with the goal of fostering the talents of those gifted with extraordinary power. Enter: Avalice, the Academy of Might & Magics. A name known to all throughout the world, the fortunate youths who come here and survive the grueling years of academia exit its hallowed halls with the purpose of becoming the world's next legendary heroes! Yes, the ones that common folk will sing songs and write stories about for ages to come. But not every starry-eyed, would-be hero will graduate to the greatest of honors. The courses are tough and the competition tougher still! The graduate rate of Avalice is a dismal 5% of the enormous student population. After all, only the best of the best are fit to be called "Legends".
At the top of the student body hierarchy reigns the Miracle Seven: seven students considered the most powerful in the entire school and the most likely to achieve "Legend" status after graduating. Their powers are so great that they even eclipse most of the professors who teach there. But this is not the story of the Miracle Seven. Quite the opposite in fact. Meet Class Camellia, or Class-C for short. One of the subdivisions in which a student is assigned to, Class-C is consistently ranked as the worst performing class of the academy for nearly a decade now. In those 10 years, not a single student from Class-C has managed to graduate from Avalice.
It’s not necessarily that the students of Class-C are individually the weakest bunch, but they’ve never had a Professor capable of nurturing their true potential. Chalk it up to misfortune or what have you, but it seems the Curse of Class-C is every Professor’s worst nightmare. A new semester dawns on Avalice and, fearing that another year of failure awaits the students of Class-C, Headmaster Alphonse Augustine has hired a recent academy graduate, genius of the magical arts, and former second seat of the Miracle Seven—one Nyx Yuria—to be Class-C’s new Head Professor.
Surely, a former member of the Miracle Seven will finally break this abysmal curse? Unbeknownst to everyone, Nyx is a disgraced graduate. He’s someone who never made it as a hero or adventurer in the real world and constantly lives in the shadow of his self-proclaimed rival: the former first seat of the Miracle Seven during their years at the academy together. Jaded and envious of his vastly more successful peer, Nyx only took the job as an excuse to avoid facing his own failures. All in all, this is starting to smell like a recipe for disaster. Or can Nyx and the students of Class-C band together to finally show the world that they, too, can be legends?
Out-of-Character Info
Welcome to the Anime-style, high fantasy world of Alrune: a beautiful, vast, boundless world fraught with danger and excitement around every corner! Unfortunately, you’re characters’ fragile teenage minds aren’t ready for any of that yet and so instead we’re going to lock ‘em up on some floating island in the sky where they’re forced to do magical math or something.
You’ll be playing a student from the cursed Class-C who just can’t seem to get it together for the last decade. But hopefully with the help of your new professor (played by yours truly), you can discover your inner potential and show the rest of the academy that Class-C is not to be underestimated!
Note that Avalice is a school for Might & Magics, meaning that it teaches both warriors and mages to become legendary heroes. As mana is an energy source that exists in all living things, warrior-types can use it to enhance their own physical prowess or even to cast magic of their own if you’re into that sorta hybrid style.
So I’m unsure of the best group size as I’ll have to gauge interest first but a smaller group size would work best if we focus heavily on the main plot. You should at least be capable of posting once per week. Post length will be flexible but should at the minimum conform to the standards of the Casual section. All other standard role playing and site rules apply.
